- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Coating and Breading:
- 1 cup (240 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375F (190C) for optimal cooking temperature.
- Create a seasoned coating by mixing Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate shallow dish to create a binding liquid for the coating.
- Dust each chicken breast with flour, removing excess, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully press the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken, creating an even, crispy exterior.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat to create a golden-brown crust.
- Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a rich, golden color.
- Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Verify chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature reaches 165F (74C).
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a final touch of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- Customize the breadcrumb mixture by adding your favorite herbs or spices for a personalized flavor profile.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond meal or crushed gluten-free crackers.
- Prepare extra Parmesan coating to create a crispier, more indulgent crust by double-dipping the chicken before cooking.
